As a gun owner, you need to put yourself in a position of power. We offer firearms training classes for military personnel, law enforcement, and private gun owners, including women and children. All courses, except Refuse to Be a Victim and Home Firearm Safety, meet the requirements for applying for a Florida Concealed Weapon or Firearm License, also known as a Florida Concealed Weapon Permit.

Accurate Edge, LLC also has custom courses that include individualized gun training. In fact, because there are only 52 weekends in a year, we also offer our courses during the week. Call us if you or your group is interested in a weekday class, private class, or custom class.

Course Descriptions

Marksmanship Fundamentals Pistol Course – 4+ Hours

This is NOT a NRA-approved course, but does meet the requirements for applying for a FL Concealed Weapons or Firearm License. It focuses on Lessons II and III of the NRA pistol courses, specifically the marksmanship fundamentals, including grip, stance sight picture, sight alignment, trigger squeeze, breath control, and follow through. After practicing with our laser training system, students will shoot 10 to 20 rounds of ammunition on our live fire range. Bring your own pistol, eye and ear protection, and ammunition if you have them. These can be provided if you do not have this gear. Students wishing to borrow guns can do so but are limited to .22 caliber.

Much of the course material comes from the two NRA Personal Protection courses – PP in the Home and PP Outside the Home. A short session on room-clearing exercises may be added if time allows. Students should have their own holster, mag pouches, pistol or revolver (9mm, 38, or 40 or 45), and at least two or three magazines or speed loaders. Please bring eye and ear protection if you have them, as well as a ball cap and a concealment garment and at least 100 rounds of ammunition. We have one set of live fire training gear available for student use for this class so the more students who can provide their own gear the more course material we can cover.
